Classes
In general, we offer a variety of 60-90 minute classes throughout the day, in addition to five "personal camp day" slots. Personal campers participate in all of the day's classes and spend the breaks eating snack and lunch. When we have over ten campers registered, we take our classes off the schedule completely and offer camp only. We understand that the ever-changing schedule of classes versus camps can be confusing and frustrating, so we greatly appreciate your understanding and flexibility from week to week.
Below, you will find our class descriptions for a typical non-camp week. To the left of each description, you will find a link to the "schedule" page of the website. Once you are there, you can scroll to the very bottom of the page to register for individual class dates and times. If you can't find a link to the specific session that you are interested in, it is likely because we are having a camp day or hosting a private event and it is in the customer's best interest to cancel the class. This usually occurs during public school breaks, bank holidays, etc.
*Please note that while you may be able to walk into a class during a slow day, your child is only guaranteed a spot in class if you register ahead of time online. Again, links to register can be found at the bottom of this page. If we are at capacity and you have not preregistered, you may be turned away.*

Mommy and Me
All children are artistic! Our program simply presents them with the tools to develop visual perception in a fun and energetic way! Watch your child benefit from an early exposure to art and movement. While you are building your relationship with your children, they are unknowingly improving their motor skills, developing their language, and strengthening their problem solving and critical thinking skills. As they discover new media, like clay and paint, for the first time, they are gaining awareness of the world around them, making their own inventive decisions, and gaining a sense of autonomy.
Meet weekly on a Tuesday or Thursday with other parents of toddlers from 18 months to 3 years in an intimate setting of no more than twelve children. Sessions consist of four weeks for $80 or you can drop in to try the class out one day for $24.

Simply Sensory
Play is nature's way of getting kids to do the work of growing up. Sensory play includes any activity that stimulates your young child's senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. Spending time stimulating their senses helps children develop cognitively, linguistically, socially and emotionally, physically and creatively. Our Simply Sensory program emphasizes process-oriented, explorative art making designed to excite the imagination, curiosity and creativity. This class provides your child with hands-on opportunities to get messy and explore art materials in a safe environment...outside of your home! Come paint with cars, fingers, toes, and more! Explore slime, sound containers, color windows, glue, dough, magnets, flowers, and more! In each class, there is a varied selection of sensory-rich art related projects and activities. When you bring your child to our Simply Sensory program, you are providing him or her with the messy tools for discovery. Life is messy after all!
Drop in any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 11am-12pm. $20 drop in

Little Builders
The benefits of construction based activities are astounding for young children. When children are building, they are improving their motor skills and hand-eye coordination, acquiring spatial skills, developing a capacity for creative and divergent thinking, not to mention working on their social and language skills. Children take an immense pride in their creations and hate to clean them up. Well, here, they don't have to! During the Little Builders program, children will have the opportunity to build a new art project each week using different materials, such as wood or clay, that they get to take home with them!
Drop in any Tuesday from 1pm-2:30pm. $22 drop in

Crafternoons
During Crafternoons, the studio offers a stimulating, imaginative and engaging social space where children will work together through language, play, and, of course, art, at their individual comfort level. Our attentive staff is aware of each child’s needs and interests so that they can encourage self-expression, confidence, and self-awareness, Crafternoon projects promote development on both a verbal and nonverbal level through group dialogue, story time, and narrative play, as well as sensory and multimedia art projects. So, feel free to hang around, or run some errands, meet a friend, or just get some much needed “me” time, while your child builds relationships in a fun and healthy learning environment.
Prices vary depending on length of drop off. Let your child play with us for $20 per hour on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1pm-6pm. If you are more than 15 minutes late picking up your child, you will automatically be charged for the full second hour of the Crafternoon. One hour of Crafternoon equals one redemption from a class pack.
